[Bug c++/32066] New: member/type lookup doesn't work properly with templates

The following is adapted from the example from the C++ standard, clause 14.6/4
(actually it's the updated version from DR345):
1 struct A {
2 struct X { };
3 static int X;
4 } ;
5 template<class T> void f(T t) {
6 typename T::X x; // invalid
7 T::X y; // invalid
8 int z = T::X; // OK
9 }
10 void foo() {
11 A a;
12 f(a); // error: T::X refers to the data member A::X not
13 // the struct A::X.
14 }
I've removed the `B' class from the example, made A::X static (so that T::X may
be used to reference it), and added lines 7 and 8. According to the standard,
clause 14.6/4, all the `T::X' should find the data member X, *not* the type
member X, regardless of the `typename' keyword.
In this case, however, GCC 4.1.1 has not done this, and gives the following
diagnostics:
t.cxx: In function ?void f(T)?:
t.cxx:7: error: expected `;' before ?y?
Line 6 has been compiled OK; `T::X' has found the type.
Line 7 has been rejected correctly; `T::X' has not found a type, which means
the `typename' keyword in line 6 was significant.
Line 8 has been compiled correctly; `T::X' has found the data member.
